 I think he's gone totally nuts.

I've had plenty of disussions with you and was reading your 
posts till last month.

You can talk a lot of sense at times. What on earth has 
gotten into you in the past few months? Your posts are 
increasingly sounding like monologues and not dialogues.


 
 I call for '200 posts per month' limit. That should be easy 
 for any moderator to manage.
 
 By the way, Vaj's email is also bouncing. Is he dead as 
 well?

 A friend who used to post here sent this short reaction to dropping by FFL for 
a look today to me in email. I thought it was worth sharing with the forum:
 
 No wonder I never bother looking in. Tex is outta control! Or maybe it’s just 
that there is no “there” there anymore. Tex’s eruptions are just the death 
rattle of a dead site.

 I think that "death rattle of a dead site" kinda nails it. 
 
 
 
 And IMO it's clearly Rick's fault. As many have pointed out, he *could* do 
something to remove a person who has said outright that his only reason for 
posting so much is to fuck with people he doesn't like and ruin their site. But 
he doesn't. Clearly Rick doesn't read his own forum enough to even CARE what 
Richard Williams has turned the experience of reading it into. 
 
 
 If it were me, given his history and how he's resisted any attempts to get him 
to lighten up for years now, I'd ban Richard for at least a year. With two 
conditions. First, if he attempts to create other IDs so he can post anyway, 
nuke each of the new IDs as they appear and make the ban permanent for life. 
Second, offer anyone still around on FFL after a year a vote to see if they 
want to allow him back. Post a few links back to this recent period in which 
he's been making 500+ posts a month to help them decide how to vote.
 
 
 No muss, no fuss, no maintenance, and maybe the forum would become a pleasant 
place to have a discussion again. Maybe.
